English is the colonial language, but when India gained independence, the educated class already spoke and read it, which was more convenient, and since India has something like 121 recognized languages, English being a foreign colonial language made it easier to adopt, since they avoided "favouring" one indigenous language over another.

oh definitely. I'm not claiming that these people are stupid through inheritance, but instead because they are marinated in the most despicable propaganda
Not only that, he specifically referenced that God promised the land to the Israelites in the Bible, which was why it was okay that these people had their relatives murdered in various refugee camps.
Didn't she also say in an interview that she doesn't actually like Chimpanzees all that much anymore, because they act quite like humans and have these complicated social interactions, all of which are difficult to follow and keep track of, so instead her favourite animal is her cat (might be dog, can't remember).
I mostly agree with you, but any time I have to interact with right-wingers I get reminded that they are indeed unfathomably stupid people. Just no thoughts, head empty and running on vibes and racism.
IIRC that was Jeremy Clarkson's idea for traffic control instead of speed cameras
Which he stole from Thatcher, who came up with "Make Britain Great Again" because the pun actually works on Britain / Great Britain
Sorry if my post was unclear, but yes. Mexico and Chile are both extremly catholic countries, while my part of Scandinavia is extremely protestant and we famously work 37 hours every week and not a second more.
IIRC Mexico and Chile has the highest average workhours per year in the OECD. I remember once arguing with a guy at work about "protestant work-ethic" being a myth and showed him the graph. He's quite the neoliberal, so he puts a lot of stock in graphs compiled by NGOs, so after a while I finally shut him up.
The israeli army, much like basically any western army at this point, crumble the second they start fighting someone who can shoot back and isn't on the litteral brink of starvation.
To defend the redditors slightly (eww), J.D. Vance first made his name as a resistance lib who seemed like their perfect idea of a "moderate" republican. He was shitting on poor people in kentucky with his Hillbilly Elegy book / movie and I sort of remember him being on American TV and talking about how the people of appalachia had failed to adapt to the post-industrial world and instead turned to drugs, which was fucking catnip to liberals back in 2017. His turn came when he ran for senate in Ohio and had to beg and plead with Trump for an endorsement, before he ultimately won the republican primary and then the senatorial election.
